Seedlings Grow!

PACT Grow to Learn aims to grow as many seedlings as possible for the 6 different school yard gardens involved in the project. High schools with greenhouses have generously donated their space, and efforts in some cases, to growing these seedlings. We are beginning to harden off our seedlings and big transplanting days are coming up soon!

A main goal of the gardens is to create diversity in what we plant. We want students to learn about the broad range of amazing cultivars of different varieties of plants by growing them in the gardens themselves. Interplanting and companion planting will be techniques practiced in the gardens.
